Mistakes 5–8: System failures

Rewrite examples
- Weak: "Great discovery call" — no baseline shift.
- Stronger: "Baseline: RevOps CRM manual exports → automated pipeline sync — impact checkpoint."
- Weak: "Follow-up needed." — no before/after.
- Stronger: "Before/after: spreadsheet chaos → single source of truth — Baseline Selling stage 2."
- Weak: Internal deal codes only the AE knows.
- Stronger: Plain before/after + impact cue + filter keyword people already search for.
